This paper presents an overlapping pattern substitution (PS) method. The original overlapping PS method as a reversible data hiding scheme works well with only four pattern pairs among fifteen possible such pairs. This paper generalizes the original PS method so that it will work well with an optimal pair from among the fifteen possible pattern pairs. To implement such an overlapping PS method, changeable and embeddable patterns are first defined. A class map is virtually constructed to identify the changeable and embeddable pairs. The run-lengths between consecutive least probable patterns are recorded. Experiments show that an implementation of our overlapping PS method works well with any possible type of pairs. Comparison results show that the proposed method achieves more embedding capacity, a higher PSNR value, and less human visual distortion for a given embedding payload.

This paper investigates the properties of light weight foamed concrete with variances in adding ratio of stability agent(PS). Test showed that an increase of PS adding ratio decreased fluidity due to higher viscosity and increased unit weight of specimens. A sinking depth declined as the adding ratio of PS inclines, but all specimens including control concrete was ranging in KS; 0.5 to 10mm. Compressive strength value of specimens increased as PS adding ratio inclines. As for the tensile strength, any significant feature was not observed, compared with control concrete, but the ratios of camp. to tens. increased. Appearance density of concrete increased, and thermal conductivity was satisfied in KS, except for a specimen adding 0.07 percent of PS.

The dose-response effect of polysaccharide extracts(PS-1) from Artemisia iwayomogi was inves-tigated under various hepatic disease models. Silymarin, DDB and UDCA were used as reference compounds. We found that the maximal effective dose of PS-1 was 100 mg/kg b.wt. in $CCl_4$-induced hepatotoxicity, D-galactosamine-induced hepatitis, in ANIT-induced cholestasis and 300 mg/kg b.wt. in $CCl_4$-induced chronic liver disease, 30 mg/tg b.wt. in chronic bile duct ligation and chronic ethanol fatty liver. These findings suggest that PS-1 fraction protects the hepatocyte against various hepatic injuries, and this fracton might be of therapeutic value.

This study was designed to observe the effect of hot water soluble polysaccharides extract(PS) from Lentinus edodes on the enzyme activities related with hepatic function and peroxidation in the rats fed better yellow. The four groups of male SD rats were fed with the diets contained 15% casein(basal diet; NO group), added butter yellow(BO group) or /and PS(NP, BP group) for 6 weeks. The activities of ${\gamma}$-GTP and GPT in BP were significantly lower compared with BO. The activities of glutathione peroxidase, catalase and lactate dehydrogenase were not significantly different between NP and NO, while those activities were significantly lower value in BP than BO. The activities of glutathione S-transferase of the microsomal and cytosol fractions were significantly lower in BP than in BO. The contents of glutathione and malondialdehyde in the liver were considerably low value in BP. In a view of these results the PS of Lentinus edodes prevents the lipid peroxidation and diminishes the liver toxicity caused with better yellow. The superoxide dismutase activity in cytosolic fraction of liver was not found any effect in all groups. But hepatic function enzyme activities such as catalase and glutathione peroxidase, LDH activities were remarkably decreased in the groups 2(basal diet + PS) and the ${\gamma}$-GTP, GOT and GPT activities, too. In liver, the contents of glutathione decreased by PS supplementation but HDL-cholesterol and total cholesterol ratio in plasma decreased at the groups 3, 4. The ${\gamma}$-GTP, GOT and GPT in plasma were remarkably higher in the rats fed the p-DAB than the control group, too. But above enzyme activities significantly decreased in the groups fed PS.

During the monsoon in Bangladesh, the possibility of preserving wet ($700g\;H_2O$) straw by urea (50 g/kg straw DM) with or without polythene cover has been studied. The quality of preserved straw (PS) in terms of colour, smell and fungal infestation were recorded. Nutritive value of the PS was compared to that of a dry straw (DS) in two separate feeding trials on growing bulls (about 290 kg) without (Expt. 1) or with (Expt. 2) concentrate supplements. Over 96% of the wet straw was excellently preserved for over 5 months when covered with polythene in horizontal heaps (of appx. 4 tons). Whereas only 33% of the straw was well preserved in the uncovered (dome shaped) heaps (of approximately 9.5 tons). Each ton of wet straw costed Tk. 1413 and its preservation cost incurred Tk. 345. Urea preservation increased the crude protein content (95 vs. 50 g/kg), dry matter (DM) degradability at all (8, 16, 24, 48, 72 and 96) hours of incubation and at 48 hours, DM degradability (%) were 45 and 25 respetively for the PS and the DS. When fed alone, DM intake (75 vs. $106g/kg\;W^{0.75}/d$), total microbial N yield (27 vs. 54 g/d) and growth rate (-379 vs. 283 g/d) were higher (p < 0.01) in the PS than the DS. Supplementation of concentrate reduced the straw DM intake both in the DS ($51g/kg\;W^{0.75}/d$) and the PS ($958g/kg\;W^{0.75}/d$), but the substitution rate (SR%) was higher in the PS (42) than the DS (27). Higher substitution rate was probably responsible for the reduction in the differences between the DS and PS in their nutrient digestibilities, total microbial N yield (62 vs. 64 g/d) and growth rate(669 vs 339 g/d) when supplemented with concentrate. On 28th day of Expt. 2, feeding PS from one of the polythene covered heaps resulted nervous disorder due to unknown reason(s). Further studies on the effect of size and shape of heap on the preservation quality need to be determined.

The true-lPN's based on silicone rubber(SR)rrubbery polymer) and polystyrenc(PS)(glass polymer) were prepared by using the sequential IP!\' method_ The characteristic of permeability of oxygen/nitrogen was investigated with the control of the amount of PSOO-70 wt%) in the true-lPN, As a results of fTlR and N1Vm. the SRIPS membrane was synthesised successfully with the IPN synthetic method, Thermal analysis resulls indicated that the degree of mixing of IPN increased with increase of the amount of PS in the IPN. Regarding the characteristic of gas permeability, the membrane showed a trend of decrease in oxygen permeability as the PS content increased, The oxygen permeability of membrane having 50 wt% of PS. however, increased momentarily, Selectivity, meanwhile, increased slightly as the contents of I'S increased. However, the maximum value of oxygen selectivity, which is 20.6% enhanced Value, was obtained with the membrane containing 50 wt% of PS. This can be explained that the behavior of lPN, i.e. mutual assistance, is pronounced in the membrane having 50 wt% of PS.

In order to investigate the quality characteristics of Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Max. preserved in sugar, the quality characteristics were examined by dividing them into four groups: PS-A (P. persica preserved in sugar mixed with sucrose and oligosaccharides at a ratio of 100:0, w/w), PS-B (P. persica preserved in sugar mixed with sucrose and oligosaccharides at a ratio of 60:40, w/w), PS-C (P. persica preserved in sugar mixed with sucrose and oligosaccharides at a ratio of 40:60, w/w) and PS-D (P. persica preserved in sugar mixed with sucrose and oligosaccharides at a ratio of 0:100, w/w). The results were as follows: pH levels and soluble solid contents of PS-D sample were lower than those of the others, however total acidity value were higher. In case of Hunter's value, the 'L', 'a' and 'b' values of all samples were affected by addition of oligosaccharides. No great difference occurred among samples in reducing sugar contents. Organic acid content was significantly decreased with the lower addition of sucrose. The predominating organic acid components analyzed in all samples were lactic acid 156.15 g/100 g, tartaric acid 72.75 g/100 g and citric acid 32.90 g/100 g. The highest contents of total phenol and flavonoid, and DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity were $10.79{\pm}0.55mg\;GAE/mL$, $8.71{\pm}0.06mg\;CE/mL$ and 71.8%, 71.0% for PS-D, respectively. The results of this study indicated the use of oligosaccharides could increase the quality and antioxidant potentials of P. persica preserved in sugar.

For the storaging and frying stability in soybean oil, the kind of treating antioxidants were mixed tocopherol and phosphatidyl choline(PC), phosphatidyl ethanolamine(PE), phosphatidyl inpsitol(PI), phosphatidyl serine(PS), phosphatidic acid(PA), phosphatidyl glycerol(PG), treating amounts were 0.03%, 0.05%(w/w), respectively. Acid value(AV), peroxide value(POV) and oxidative stability index(OSI) were determined during storage period at $50^{\circ}C$ in soybean oil. Antioxidation effect at frying condition was determined through changes of smoke point. The antioxidation effect according to AV change was $PA>PC>PI{\geq}PG>PS{\geq}PE$, preventing effect about POV change was PA>PG>PC>PS>PE>PI and preventing effect about OSI decreasing was PI>PC>PA>PG>PS>PE. At the result, antioxidation effect of individual phospholipid components in soybean oil was appeared different result according to determination code. Determination result of preventing effect of SP decreasing according to frying at $180^{\circ}C$ during 20 hours was PA>PC>PG>PE>PI>PS. But treating effect of mixed tocopherol in preventing effect about AV, POV was not. In the case of storage at $50^{\circ}C$ in soybean oil, mixed tocopherol was affected as a kind of pro-oxidant. In OSI had some antioxidation effect, preventing effect of SP decreasing had not. Treatment of mixed tocopherol in soybean oil was undesirable as frying oil.

In this work, novel thin film composite (TFC) forward osmosis (FO) membranes are developed via interfacial polymerization on the polysulfone (PS) substrate, using TEOS as the a sol-gel reagent to form hydrophilic interlayer polymer between PS and polyamide (PA). The PS substrate was cast on a very thin polyester nonwoven to reduce membrane resistance. With the incorporation of TEOS (tetraethoxy silane) polymer in the interface between PS and PA, the formed TFC FO membrane exhibits better hydrophilicity and improved water flux, and therefore superior membrane performance. By changing the polymerization sequence of PA interfacial polymerization and TEOS sol-gel condensation, the surface properties and performance of FO membranes are changed significantly. The permeability of FO membranes were estimated using the bench-scale FO test equipment. The distribution of the polysiloxane on composite membrane and morphology are also studied with FE-SEM and EDAX. The PS_PA_TEOS membrane showed highly enhanced water flux (79.2 LMH) but reverse salt flux (RSF) value (7.10 GMH) also increased. However, the flux of PS_TEOS_PA membrane increased moderately (54.1 LMH) without increasing RSF value (1.60 GMH) compare with PS_PA membrane.
